Southwestern Colored Easter Eggs {A very simple easy way to add a little more color and depth to your Easter eggs}

I’m always looking for simple ways to shake things up and these Southwestern Colored Easter Eggs are just that. Let’s face it, in our world of craziness, there’s just not always time to be “Martha.” Last year while visiting my in-laws, we dyed Easter eggs as part of our holiday festivities. When my mother-in-law broke out the brown eggs, I thought she was certifiably crazy. “Like those are really going to take on any color…” I thought quietly to myself. Thank goodness I never uttered my thoughts aloud, because not only did they take the color, they turned out beautifully. Perfect for Sante Fe styles of Saint George, where we were enjoying the sunshine coloring eggs outdoors, as the eggs turned into different southwestern hues. Instead of the pastel or candy colored eggs we’re accustomed to, the brown eggs ended up in deeper sapphire, ruby, emerald, and other jewel colored tones. I laughed when my son saw these eggs and exclaimed the very same thought that I had the previous year, “Mom, you really think those brown eggs are going to actually change color?!?”

It has thrilling to watch as he experimented with the eggs. He’d dye a white egg one color, and then a brown egg the same color just to see the difference. He was delighted when the brown eggs did actually turn colors, and had such a great time comparing and contrasting the differences between the two.

The eggs in the top row started as white eggs and were dyed using the same color as the brown eggs on the bottom. See how much deeper the colors are?

Not only did he end up with a basket filled with tons of different colors, traditional and southwestern, he set his little brain to work, and made quite the experiment out of our Easter festivities.

There’s not much of a tutorial for this one – simply boil some brown eggs either with or instead of white eggs and color your eggs as directed on dye package.
